The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 58

The next day, a notice was posted at the gate of Chang'an City saying that Dong Zhuo's body, which was supposed to be marched for three days, was burned and that was the end of it.

But Dongfang Sheng complained to Zhang Liang with a bitter face: "This Zhenjia gave me food, grass and weapons, but none of them. Where am I going to recruit five thousand soldiers?"

Zhang Liang looked at the several boxes of gold and silver belongings that Zhen Jia sent in the morning with a smile, and thought, "In that case, I will go along with the flow and give you a helping hand."

Put up notices on the street?Where to go to Lu Bu to attract people?Several methods popped up in Dongfang Sheng's mind, but they were all killed one by one.

"I'm going to make some tea for you to quench your thirst." Zhang Liang turned and went to the kitchen calmly.

Dongfang Sheng continued to think about how to recruit soldiers. During this period, many gentry or local gentry had their own family guards, and their strengths were also strong and weak.

However, Dongfang Sheng wants to take the route of elite soldiers. If the large-scale casting of the net is just to gather the number of people, it will be meaningless at all.

It’s just that population is a kind of wealth in this era. Dong Zhuo’s tyranny has left most of the young and middle-aged people in Chang’an City. It is obviously unrealistic to recruit people in other people’s teams, and other places have their own forces. They will not let them easily. Population loss in their own territory.

Although Zhen Jia said that he would fund Dongfang Sheng to recruit [-] soldiers, he only paid money, food, weapons and horses, but he didn't care about the recruitment of soldiers.Dongfang Sheng was also embarrassed to ask others to sell everything, and asked him to recruit soldiers for himself.

Herod!

Suddenly there was a sound of firecrackers in the air, which was extremely sharp. Dongfang Sheng just looked up and ignored it because he had something on his mind. It was normal for the whole city to celebrate at this time and someone fired a cannon. Dongfang Sheng did not suspect him.

I just went out and set up a stall and recruited soldiers myself.Dongfang Sheng had already made up his mind, and if he could recruit a few tricks, it was better than nothing.

"Zhang Liang!"

Dongfang Sheng wanted to ask Zhang Liang to come over and write a recruiting revelation for him. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty was used. After the Western Han Dynasty, the regular script in the Eastern Han Dynasty has gradually become popular. That kind, so although Dongfang Sheng can recognize it, but he is used to writing simplified characters, it is a bit horrible to write traditional characters and still use a brush to write regular script.

Therefore, generally speaking, some of Dongfang Sheng's above-mentioned forms or letters were written by Zhang Liang. Even more curious.

Just curious, Dongfang Sheng will not force Zhang Liang to tell his background, at least when Zhang Liang does not pose any threat to him, Dongfang Sheng will not care about the other party's background, after all, everyone will have some Why do we need to get to the bottom of the ulterior secrets?
Zhang Liang, who was always on call, came a little late this time, but Dongfang Sheng didn't care. As soon as Zhang Liang came, he immediately handed him the paper and pen and said, "Write me a recruitment notice for me." , In other words, those who come to enlist can get a reward of [-] guan, and if they have outstanding military exploits, the reward will be even richer, and once they die in battle, a pension will definitely be issued."

Zhang Lianggang dropped the pen on the ground in shock, thinking to himself: This treatment is too good.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three-year compulsory military service in the Western Han Dynasty was abandoned, and it was changed to a recruitment system, which was similar to the way of free military service to recruit soldiers.

Moreover, the strikes implemented in the Eastern Han Dynasty canceled the military service of counties and counties, and at the same time canceled the corresponding post of county captain. This captain was in charge of the entire county army.And all the power in charge of the army was transferred to the hands of the county guard, which also laid a hidden danger for the separatist regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At this time, the recruitment system was quite mature at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Generally speaking, there were two ways to recruit soldiers. One was to use money to impress those who came to enlist, and the other was to exempt them from taxes and duties to attract those who came to enlist.

Generally speaking, the money will not exceed [-], and some recruits do not have any outstanding combat performance rewards or death benefits. Basically, during the war, if you can get some or rob, it is yours, and generally speaking, recruiting is for a lifetime. Yes, the combat effectiveness of some armies is weak because all the soldiers in them are old veterans.

The conditions given by Dongfang Sheng are already extremely good. In this period, basically not many people can do what he did, because in the ensuing warlord melee, basically many soldiers did not die in battle, but were starved to death. of.

With Dongfang Sheng's conscription treatment, I dare not say that the Eastern Han Dynasty is the first, but it is considered rare in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but even so, there are very few people who apply for it, mainly because of the loss of young and middle-aged people after Chang'an City was destroyed by Dong Zhuo. .

And even those who came to apply were all old and weak, and none of them could make Dongfang Sheng look up to him.

After the whole morning passed, Dongfang Sheng could only stretch his sore waist and sighed helplessly.

None of the applicants here are decent at all. Some of them are older, and some are even missing arms and legs. Do they think I want to open a nursing home?Dongfang Sheng shook his head helplessly, thinking of the group of people who came to apply this morning.

After lunch, Dongfang Sheng sat next to the canvas on the street with the word recruiting soldiers erected. On the table was a stack of white paper and pen and ink, which were used for registration.

"Why hasn't Zhang Liang come yet? He still needs to come to register his name?" Dongfang Sheng saw that the mat next to him was still empty, and was about to turn around and call back, but when he thought of what happened in the morning, he immediately shook his head and laughed at himself: I'm afraid no one will come if I sit for a day, so why let Zhang Liang sit with me for another day?

Thinking of having to sit empty for another afternoon, Dongfang Sheng didn't waste any time. He hung his butt up, stepped off his horse, and started to stand. This standing is the basic skill of Neijiaquan, which is equivalent to the martial arts novel It's the same as meditation, but the real Neijiaquan is standing on the ground instead of sitting.

Just after Dongfang Sheng stood up, a burly man suddenly appeared on the corner of the street. This big man was wearing a short jacket and trousers. The standard Eastern Han peasant dress, but the evil spirit in his eyes did not look like a stocky farmer. The pimple-like muscles on his body are not like an ordinary person, and he walks even more vigorously. It seems that this kind of person should not be a commoner, but the clothes he is wearing now and the curls His trousers, and the yellow mud all over his body, looked like he walked out of the ground just now.

The hall master asked me to take refuge with a boy who is only 15 years old?I heard that he was able to draw with Lu Bu, and planned to kill Dong Yue, and even assassinated Dong Zhuo yesterday. I don't know who he is, is he just a guy with a false name?The burly man thought as he walked.
